A Journey Through Time Full of Courage, Memory, and Ruhr Area Soul

With Our Grandma Rode a Motorcycle in the Chicken Coop, the Traumbaum Theater brings a child-friendly bridge between the past and the present to the stage. The play tells of small acts of courage and of an everyday heroine whose childhood and youth between 1925 and 1945 become a vivid theatrical journey through time. The performance is intended for young viewers as well as for adults who appreciate precisely told children's theater with conviction.

When a Chicken Coop Becomes a Stage of Remembrance

The setting initially sounds like nonsense, but therein lies the strength of this production: In the clutter of the chicken coop, a music chest awaits as a time machine, Heini the rooster opens the door to memory, and Rosa Sawatzki's story unfolds as a lively set design amidst nostalgia, tension, and historical experience. The dramaturgy blends humor and seriousness without smoothing over the heaviness of the era. ([theater-traumbaum.de](https://theater-traumbaum.de/images/Repertoire/download/unsreoma/unsreoma.pdf))

Theater Pedagogy with Emotional Precision

The play introduces young people to central questions of responsibility, humanity, and courage. The production relies on a clear narrative line that makes historical experiences understandable while leaving room for audience reaction and discussion. According to the press information, the school performance lasts 55 minutes plus 15 minutes of follow-up; it is directed at people from 6 to 96 years old and at school classes from 1st to 5th grade.

A Play with Ruhr Area Character and Historical Depth

The Traumbaum Theater consciously anchors the story in the Ruhr area and speaks of a post-war preparation that does not get lost in pathos but remains grounded in everyday imagery. It is precisely this blend of local history, childlike curiosity, and moral stance that makes the charm: The stage experience feels accessible, the theater atmosphere direct, the message clear. At the same time, the piece is connected to the Anne Frank Cultural Weeks 2026 and thereby sets a clear cultural pedagogical sign.
